I went to the auto paint store and had them make me up some paint for the Mark. I got looking at my wheels and came up with this. Does it work or is it to ricey? I can change it back to black pretty easily.

I like it, some of the LS guys have their brake calipers painted.

Have a distance shot? Hard to tell in a close-up.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean brake calipers. What I did was paint the bolts around the inside of the rim and the IXX.

Sorry Pepper,

Greg

Here it is. I will probably have to wait tell the sun comes back.

What you painted looks cool

, and it doesn't look ricer to me.

Looks fine - not at all flashy or overwhelming on a car that tight.

Get the chrome head/tail light trim painted the same color as the car, and then have the chrome window trim blacked out. IMO, that would improve the look of your car tremendously!

I've thought about that. But, I like the chrome accents. Its not to much chrome and I like the way it looks. But thanks for your 2 cents.

Can't really tell from far off that anything but the calipurs are painted, however, when people come close up it will deffinetly stand out. Very nice job on the wheels!
